Above: Honey Cone (Hot Wax) 1973 "Woman Can't Live by Bread Alone"

Following the tremendous success of their 1971 "Want Ads" single, Honey Cone seemed unable to resist anthems of female empowerment, flipping scripture into feminism for "Woman Can't Live by Bread Alone." Resident Hot Wax songwriter/ producer Greg Perry swathes Honey Cone's vocals in gossamer strings and helps to drive their message home with some relaxed proto-disco vamping.

Re:Discovered: a great series of audio samples and write ups about obscure 45s by groups from "Ripple" to "100 Proof Aged in Soul" that you will not be hearing on your local radio station (unless, that is, they've been sampled into the latest hit). From the always wonderful journal of funk, jazz, soul and vinyl, Waxpoetics
